Nature Macro Photography

22 Apr

Nature Macro Photography
My main core interest in Nature Photography is in Avian and mammals where action takes place. However, in this country where such nature spots are very lacking, nature photographers could find more shooting opportunities in going for macro shots. The opportunities here are endless in this country for macro.

Smooth Otters at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

08 Dec

There are now a family of 5 Smooth Otters who have make Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Singapore as their home. Recently, I witnessed a pack of wild dogs about 10 of them showing aggressiveness towards these Otters. The Otters were hunting for fish in the water and encountered resistance when they wanted to go on land. Matters was brought forward to the management of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve as well as the AVA authority to act on this matter so that the Otters can still make this place their home.

Crocodile at Singapore Nature Reserve

01 Dec

Have been on the look out for crocodile in our Singapore Nature Reserve for quite sometime hoping to catch them in the wild and to record their nature behaviour.

Finally I managed to find it face to face with me while it was resting and also on the look out for food…I guess.
